Have you approached the bank and requested those products? With regards to Shariah banking, it's a global product, and rapidly expanding. It's not just a South African product. There is a lot of money in Shariah banking and investments.

Anyone is free to apply to own a franchise. And a franchisee will decide whether they want their franchise store to be halal certified or not These are business decisions.

So why don't ZCC set up their own certification? And with regards to selling a product, that's up to a business A business will decide what product they want to stock.

So do you want Oros to contain pork or alcohol? Or any animal derived ingredients?

So why can't you buy products without the halaal certification if it bothers you so much? The halal goods markets is rapidly expanding worldwide. Some South African companies export their products (including meat) to Islamic countries. Must they also now stop that because some people in South Africa are upset with a halal sticker?

Shariah banking products is simply a product offering. Are you saying that banks must not offer these products? What if they did their research and found that there is a demand for shariah-compliant products? What if a bank is making good money from Shariah products. Must they discontinue a successful product?

If you want your own labelled or non-labelled food why don't you petition big business or business people to sell products with other labels? Businesses have a halal sticker because of demand. It's a business decision. The halal goods markets is rapidly expanding world-wide. South African businesses also export to other Muslim.countrirs (and this includes meat also). If you prefer non-halaal then start your own business or petition other businesses to do the same. Maybe there is a market for it.

Follow the elections around the world and you will find a pattern. The latest was Brazil. If you see what is happening there, you will know that what is happening in South Africa is not very different. America and Israel are pushing an agenda. It's quite obvious. And South Africa is also a target. It's not a coincidence that the DA gets the highest amounts in donation. It's not a coincidence that we have a number of parties pushing the Zionist agenda. It's not a coincidence that Trump is trying to trample over South Africa. This halaal issue is just one way they want to sow division. It's not been an issue for over 100 years. And in any case, if people want non halal franchises or goods, they then have a right to petition those businesses or open their own non halal businesses. It's more of a business decision than anything else.

You need to understand how franchisees work. People buy a franchise and set up in a specific location. If you want a non-halaal franchise in your area, you need to find some business people to open one. Or open one yourself. People do market research to check out areas, etc. Maybe do a survey in your area to see if you get support for a non-halaal franchise.

South Africa has a Constitution What Sharia law are you talking about? If any religion or religious groups in South Africa want to amend or introduce a specific law, they will need to propose it to Government, pass it through the public, through Parliament and then if necessary, through the ConCpurt. So how exactly are people pushing for Shariah law in South Africa? And Afghanistan has their own Constitution. Maybe you should petition their government if you feel that women are being oppressed there.

South Africa has problems of its own no doubt, but that does not mean that Trump & America must trample over South Africa. Trump needs to respect the sovereignty of nations. He needs to accept that some countries see Israel as the oppressor. He needs to accept that all nations are equal in this world. He needs to accept the fact that imperialism is over. He needs to start warming up to a multipolar world.

All that money given to Israel could have been used to subsidise health care for Americans in America. From what I can see, many Americans cannot afford health care. Homelessness also seems be an issue in America. Why would the American government spend taxpayers money on Israel when there are some serious issues in America that need money?

The meeting should have included March & March. It now looks as if the Government is isolating them. Rather be inclusive than exclusive. Speak to as many stakeholders as possible.

Why can't Americans just stick with America? Are there no problems that need fixing in America? Problems like homelessness, affordability, drugs, racism, corruption, shootings, affordable or subsidised national healthcare, etc.

They are socialist in some ways, and nothing wrong with that, especially where it benefits the poor, the discriminated, and grants equality & dignity to all.

I. Slogan: "Ya Sırbistan ya mafya" Hedef: Yolsuzlukla mücadele, hesap verebilirlik ve bağımsız kurumlar 1-Bağımsız yargı: Mahkemeleri ve savcılıkları siyasi baskıdan kurtarmak; yolsuzlukları soruşturacak özel bir savcılık polisi kurmak. Polis teşkilatını organize suç bağlantılarından arındırmak. 2-Haksız kazanılmış servete el koyma: Kamu görevlilerinin mal varlıklarını araştırmak; yolsuzlukla edinilen servetleri geri almak. Görevini kötüye kullanan ve insan haklarını ihlal eden kamu görevlilerini hesap vermeye zorlamak. 3-Şeffaf kamu ihaleleri: Devlet sözleşmelerini ve ihaleleri kamuoyuna açmak; özellikle gizli anlaşmaları ve yüksek maliyetli altyapı projelerini denetlemek. 4-Özgür medya: Kamu yayıncılığını ve medya düzenleme kurumunu siyasi denetimden kurtarmak; ayrımcılık ve nefret söylemiyle mücadele etmek, yayın lisanslarını yeniden düzenlemek. II.
